EA Easton A. Website & marketing
"Ben is the best photographer I have worked with. The photos are quality and Ben spares no effort to get the best angles and lighting possible. Highly recommend."
SP Sam P. Product photography
"Ben at Blackout Media does amazing videography and photography work. He has captured great professional footage of me on numerous occasions during my tactical trainings. I have also seen his work that did not involve me, and it is top notch. I highly recommend Blackout Media for any occasion, especially if it relates to being in the great outdoors here in Utah."
JF John F. Training video & photos
"[Ben] did two commercials for my non-profit. Prior to this we had done a few of our own videos. The traction on social media was minimal… We went from a couple hundred interactions to thousands of likes, shares, and comments… These commercials helped us with our credibility and with helping the public recognize our brand."
MP Mitch P. Commercials
"I've used Ben on multiple projects over the last several years and have always been pleased with the quality of his work. He is proficient with everything from surface level stills to action aerial views… His editing, sound and finishing resources are great to make a well crafted finished marketing product."
RB Robert B. Aerial & industrial video
"Ben took the time to listen and understand my product needs thoroughly… Ben's expertise was on display when he suggested key improvements and techniques that I hadn't considered on how to execute the final product. The final execution was superb with his photography and editing."
CP Christopher P. Product photography
"Ben is talented in so many ways! He is full of good ideas and was able to understand our business and the needs that we had. He even came up with ideas that I had not even thought about… His talents in videography and photography were so beneficial for us during our rebranding!"

FAQ

Cost, Timeline, and How It Works

How much does it cost?

Every project is scoped to your goals, so there's no one price. Ben will give you a real number after the first meeting. Bigger projects can be split into phases so you don't have to do everything at once.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope. Ben will give you a timeline at the first meeting, built around your launch dates and schedule.

What happens after I reach out?

Ben texts you back, usually within 24 hours, and sets up a time to meet, in person when possible. That first meeting is about figuring out what you actually need, not just the end result you came in with.

Do you only work with big brands?

No. A lot of our work is with small teams that want to look like a 20 to 50-person company. It can be one commercial or a full overhaul over time.

Where are you based, and who do you work with?

Blackout Media is based in Utah, and we shoot on location wherever the project calls for it. Our clients include NTAC, Iron Rescue, First Tactical, AXIL, Safe Haven Defense, The Art Room, and Peak Defense Works.
